LORD GWYDYR.—CORONATION ERECTIONS. • (Concluded from our Paper of Satarday.) On the part of Lord . GWydyr, it was prayed that the Court would dimiss him from the sMt, after directing his costs to be paid, or, that if the Court shonlil think fit to order hint to become a party to other proceedings in aCourt of, Common law, thatit would accompany such order, with another order, to release him from attendance at the earliest possible period, and indemnify him from the payment, of any costs whatever. This would be granted- as matter of course.—The argument lasted almost the whole day. Mr. HORNE being about to reply, -The VicE-CHA'Neui.ofi . said, that under his impression it would be'quite unnecesSary. Having gone over the principal facts, and explained the reasons why it became necessary that proceedingS should be taken in the present form, in a Court of Equity, his Honoarpbserved, that, the matter was extremely simple in th e f orm i t assume d .. The contract was clearly admitted on all hands, and the defence seemed at first to be thus—Mr. Fellowes I have discover ed not to be the agent of Lord Gwydyr, but to be dealing with me on his own account. I believed I was dealing' with Lord Gwydyr, and this Court cannot compel me to fulfil a contract with him under the name of. Lord Gwydyr, when he was, in fact dealing fOr himielf.NoWthis defence would be no answer to a suit of this kind in a Court of Eimity, because it could be no answer in a Cant of Com mon Sense. It was a matter perfectly immaterial to Mr. Page with whom lie dealt for the materials, and there could have been no. difficulty in ascertaining to what ex tent he was bound as to good faith : but Mr. Page went much further, 'for he alleged that he had dealings with the Noble Lord's father ; and that, if lie had not supposed he was dealing with the present Lord, he could not for a mo ment have entertained the idea of purchasing those fixtures. He further says, that 'he would not On any account have treated with Mr. Fellewes; ,and thia, as h e h a d : gi ven up . business, nothing. but his respect for that noble family, for which lie had before been 'employed, could have induced hiM to' offer the prices he had agreed to give Mr. Fellowes. Ile also goes still further, and says he was fraudulently de cejved into.the bargain, and that several things had been removed which he suppOeed he had undertaken to buy. ,if any of these things had been proved in evidence, his Ho nour said he would have considered the case to come under the description of those cited by the defendant's Counsel, for setting aside the contract; but', in the present case the vhole of the proof failed to establish the assertions. It was for thcse reasons he could Mulerstand the 'various ineti v eS ofthe parties : audits there was no evidence to support . any allegations to the contrary, he felt himself bound to decree that Mr. Page do pay.up all the difference due upon the agreement; with all the costs of the present proceedings not only with respeCt to Mr. Fellowes, but also as far as re gards Lord.Gwydyr. OPAL') hoped his Honour would not fix Mr. Page with Lord GWydyr's costs. The VicE-CHANcEi.Lott said, the defendant had im properly given occasion to those proceedings in equity,, and mnst pay all the expences which had been incurred. His Honour also observed, that he had forgotten to mention it was his impression that. ,Mr. Page did purchase, in igna, ranee of the erections belonging to Mr. Fellowes ; but that fad made no alteration in his view of the circumstances,. ROLL'S . COURT,. Nov. 1L His -HONOUR sat at nine o'clock this mornin g in bin private - chamber, to hear causes, further directionA, and fn.- ticiens by consent.

[We had the happiness, last week, of presenting our readers with a letter from the very centre of Africa, point ; ring at, rather than dwelling on, matters of high import to the friends of science; and this week, we have a still higher treat in store for them, in the shape of Extracts from an Original Journal, kept by a learned and valued friend at tached to the Arctic . Land Expedition, and forwarded to us, we may say, from the near neighbourhood of the. North Pole. We say extracts,----for the Journal in question, as originally written, was too long for our narrow limits; but it will be found verbatim in t h e l as t N u mb e r of the .7,hon fries Ilragazine.l . .. Fort Franklin, Great Bear Lake, 6th Feb. 1826. At New York we were received with much hospitality, and I may say kindness, by the upper class ofeitixens. We spent a week'very agreeably with them, after which, we left New York in a s t eam -b oat, an d procee d e d up t h e r i ver Hudsonto Albany,. landing•by t h e wa y a t W est P o i nt , t o visit the Military. Academy established there on a large scale. West Point is associated with unpleasant recollec tions to an Englishm an , as being the position of the Ame rican army wheri the tuifortimate but gallant Major Aodre was taken,.in ..carrying on his negotiations with, General Arnold. The Hudson is a magnificent river, and much of : its scenery possesses a grand, nay almost an alpine character. Albany, the seat of the government of the state of New York, is a comparatively ancient,' quiet, and well built town, not disturbed by the commerce which bustles through the street s o f New York. We were entertained by. the Governor of the State, General De Witt Clinton, a polished gentleman, of great scientific attainments, and by Van Rausec t er, the proprietor of a county whi c h bea rs his name, and in /act a nobleman under the appellation of Patron (pronounced patroon),,whiell is, I puppose, the Republican equivalent for Duke. We also made here the acquaintance of Mr. Celden, a liberalleader of the federal party. We accompanied the Governor to church, and the clergymati, a Presbyterian, prayed in. express terms for the safety and success of the Expedition, • At Albany we hired three coacheS, with four hinges each, to convey us to Lewistown, a distance of about, 420 miles. Our party at thiS time consisted of five ORM* four marines, and Mr:Buchanan, the French Consul, who came with us front New York, and accompaisied us during our journey through the United States and tipper Ca nada, facilitating our progress greatly 'by his intimate knowledge of the route, the modes of travelling, and the manners of the inhabitants. After we had struck off, however, from thegreat western road to Butfahie; in order to:go to Lewistown on the Niagara, we found, as might he expected from the smaller thoroughfares, less accom thodation for` so large a part)% We arrived. sit' one of the smaller inns about midnight, lifter the family had retired to bed, found the door on the latch, and walked in, but experienced- 'twine difficulty, as it was a frosty night, in getting she family to quit their warm beds and:provide us with supper. - Mr. Buchanan, how/ever, hit upon an expe dient which answered admirably. - He sent our Highland piper into the long paisage leading to the bed-rooms, and 'he had not marched twice aloog It to the tune of" The Gathering of the Clans," befOre the' landlord,'his wife, and five or six female attenCiants; hurried :forth. They took all this in good part, said it was delightful music, cooked some ham for our supper with their usual expedition, and spread clean sheets on the beds which they laid left, arid which, on:ottsuuteriPg Pkern,, we found still warm. LewistoWn we crossed the Niagara to Queens. town on the Cumithkhidei, and went about seven miles up the river to visit the justly celebrated Falls. Many live endeavoured to describe these Falls, and I think with very fittlesticcess. 1 shall not make a new attempt, but merely retratrk, that notwithstanding all. I had read,on the su bj ect :OM . the various drawings I had seen, the grandeur of the scene far exceeded my preVious conceptions aft. All' the other' eatarects which 1 have seen, dwindle, on compa rison with this, into insignificance. It is a stupendous monument of the 'power of the Creator orthe Universe, who wields: at will an : element ,that mocks the:utmost ,strength of feeble man.

This neighbourhood is a place of 'summer resort for the inhabitants of the State of New York, and au hotel for - their accommodation has been built so as to over look the. Falls: • This, with some flights of wooden stairs to enable the visitors to ascend and. descend the bunks of the riVer, are no ornament to the scene; neither dO they injure it, and perhaps the Cataract of the Niagara is the only one in the world that would not be injured by such adjuncts. But it is framed on so mighty a plan, that the eye, on contemplating its tremendoifs rush of waters, !eta slip from observation every work of art.. • ,From Niagara we proceeded to Fort George, situated on Lake Ontario, at the influx of the river, and, crossing the Lake, we landed at York, the, capital. of Upper C2l - r Aftera stay of twenty-four boars at thus place, we proceeded.in carts, by miserable roads, and through a thinly settled country, to Lake Senieoe, which we crossed, and de scending the Nattaivasaga River to Lake Huron, we arrived in a few days at Penetanguishene, a naval depot, situated at one of the bays of that Lake. At Penetanguishene we were joined by 24 Canadian voyageurs from Montreal, and on the 211 of April the whole party embarked in two large canoes, which, together with some stores, had been forwarded from Lower Canada the preceding season. In these canoes we coasted Lakes Huron and Superior, and arrived at Fort William on the 10th of May, having suf fered a few days detention, partly from ice, but principally from high winds.

The ea s o;i ng spive , itself is twelve miles long, over a high ridge of sand. hills,' end here the boats were partly carried on Men's shoukte" and partly launched the whole distance. After this tedious and laborious operation, during which a considerable num ' bet of the men were di sa bl e d by swellings of th e legs, we descended the Athabasca' river, and reached Fort Chepe wyan, on 'the Lake of the Tlllls, on the 15th of July. By referring to Mackenzie's- Voyages, von will perceive that it was from this post that that enterprising traveller set out on the 3d of June, 1789, on that memorable voyage to the Arctic Sea, in which he discovered and navigated the river that beats his name, and opened up to the fur: trade a large track of productive country. It was necessary for Captain Franklin to remain at Fort Chepewyan until the arrival of Mr. Back, that he might dis charge such of the Canadian voyagers as were to return to Canada this season, and also to make other arrangements; but that the boats (which were now four in nuMber, an additional one having been borrowed from the Company, and heavily laden with 'upwards of two tuns of petinnican, besides other stores), might be' nn cause of delay after the arrival of tke canoes, I went on with them on the 21st. The canoes, under Messrs. Back and Kendall (Drum mond having been left cumberland-house, to botanize on the Saskatchewan), arrived at Chepewyan On the 23d, and oil the 25th. Capt. Franklin, .having sent back nada a canoe w,ith the Voyagers, whose, services were no, longer needed, set out after ale with, the three remaining canoes,' The boats reached Slave Lakeori the 26th July, only two days.later than we arrived at the same place in canoes on the second year of our former journey ;, a diffe rence, of speed attributable solely to our acquaintance with the route•and mode of travelling, and the previous arrange-. ments so carefully 'akle by, Captain Fratiklin, After pass ing two days under the hospitable roof of*. *Vicar, Who was so kind to us after our former suffering, t set out again,. and coasting the,southern shore,of Great Slave Lake,enter, ed'tbe Mielenzie. The current of thi s st a tely ri verswept us rapidly along, and on the 3d of August, see arrived, at Fort Simpson, situated at the influx of the River of the Mountains, and at seven.in the morning'of the 6th we landed at Fort Norman, 'about 200 milei farther down that river. These two- posts are distant from each other .13 days of winter travelling. At fort 'Norman I left a por .tidir of the stores, and. a boat and select crew for Captain 'Franklin; and going on with the remainder, we ascended the current of the Bear. Lake River, which joins the Mack- . kenZidahout 50 miles belOW - Fort NO rman , Be ar L a k e River has a rapid current, the voyage down it being per formed in eight or nine hours, whiter its ascent occupies three or four days. It is 70, miles long. We arrived at Fort.Franklin,,then. in progress of erection, on the 16th Adgust. Mr. heave, a chief trader of the Hudson Bay Ccimpany, who.had come down•with a party of men in the mcluth of June to make preparation for us, did not ex pect to see us before the 25th of September.' Captain Franklin and his party reached Fort Norman the day after I left it, and sending Mr. Beek up with the canoes and stores, he and kendall•proceeded down the river in boat, with a crew of seven men, including the Esquiniaus ineerpreter. On ' the '3d day they Passed, Fort Good Hope, in lat. 67, 58., the lust of the Company's poSts, and in ihree .days more reached the sea.. The river flowed into it through many channels, separated by low deltas, which are • mostly covered by spring floods. Whale Island of Mackenzie, the limit of his voyage, is one of the outermost of these deltas, but it is surrounded by the fresh water of the river, and it was not until the boat. had approached Garry's Island, titi miles to seaward, that the clear salt water was perceived, by a well cleaned line, to he separated from the ..muddy water of the river. Ceptain Franklin landed on Garry's 'blood exactly six months front the date of his sculling ti onir E ng l an d, an d i t will excite the sympathy of his, friends to learn, that he then displayed for the ,first time a silk flag, which was sewed by his lamented, wife in. her last .illness, and deli- Vered with a presentiment—alas too true—that they were never again to meet in this world. Garry's island lies,in lat. 69. 29., and in long. 135. 41. West.' Prom its sununit they saw many white:and black whales,, seals,, &c. After remaining a. day here, for the .purpose, of making astronomical observations, and enjoying the 01)00)0164:m14*A sea clear of ire, they set out on their return,. and arrived, at this post on the 6th of Sep teniber. We h a d, d ur i ng t h e i r a b sence, bestowed upon it the name it now bears. They saw several Esquintaux encampments recently deserted, but were not so fortunate as 'to rind any of the people of that Wallah. Presents, however, of, iron work,, were left at,. their huts, and we have had the,satisfaation of learning, in the eourse,of this winter, through the medium, of: the Sharp Eyes--a tribe of Indians who inhabit Port Good IlopeT-rthat these pre sent were found by the people for whom they were in tended, and have prepossessed them strongly in our favour. The Expedition travelled,- from ,the .dote. of its leaving NeW York, the 26th March, until its re-union at Fort Feanklin, on the 6th. September,and inehiding a survey which I made . cif the north side of Bear Lake, in Captain Franklin's absence ,5,160 miles, of which, '596 were through the. Uni t e d-, States and settled parts Of .Vitperea nada, It will resume its labours as soon as the rivers are clear of ice, which will not be bej`ut! the end of June.

Sir—lt was not till a late hour • yesterday that I was aware of the letter which had been published in a morning paper under the signature of" J. and S. Ricardo," but the charges which those gentlemen have brought against me are of so flagrant a description, thst I eannot lose,* moment in repelling them, and so far La the limits of a single letter will permit, I filial proceed to demonstWe their utter groundlessness and malice. 11 cannot but be• seen that in the proceedings and discussions which, have .taken place relative to the administratimiof the funds raised upon the Greek loans, I am placed in a situation of peculiar difficulty. Much of what has been done, us well by the Depus • ties themselves, as with other persona, has necessarily been by,verbal communication, and most of such communications,. have been had with parties who were received by the De puties on the most friendly footing. Yet now it is thought necessary, or at least it is expected of me, that some. Jet tei or document should be produced to verify every as tion that is made. l trust I shall be enabled to do so; and I,do not helieve.that I Nye yet advanced a single material statement which I have not the means of supporting by written proof. I will claim no exemption from that test of the truth of what I am.now about to state in answer to the calumnies of: the Messrs. Ricardo. If those gentlemen expect to draw off my attention, or the attention of the public, from their own conduct—if they think that the mischiefs they haVe caused to Greece, by their mismanagement and ob stinacy, will not be strictly inquired into, they greatly de ceive themselves. .I.et them be assured that neither the bondholders nor myself will permit the mightier evils which they have occasioned to be lost sight of amidst the discus •sion of Matters, whieli, though equally important as affect ing the reputation of individuals, are offer - less Moment as regards the interests Of'Greece•and her creditors.: I have been 'forced, by one of the Most, unjust reports ever pub lished, to vindicate my churactcas which' had previously ' • been much aspersed, 'and which this report wonld other wise have totally destroyed. in doing this,' have been compelled to Mike disclosures whi c h hi ve added greatly to the, number of my enemies. What other - course, how- - ever, could I take ? Alone, and in a foreign land, I had. no alternative left to satisfy my friends, my couotrymess„ and ,the world, that I wits nut unworthy of the confidence which bad been, reposed in toe, than by publishing the truth. I know that I have many to contend with, arid that nought, therefore; will be omitted that. can possibly be:alleged against me. I know that Mews. RiCardo, Spaniolacki, Mr. Boivring, and last, though not lean, 111 r. Burton, have been m a ki ng t h e most minute inquiries. and Will not stop at any c o mmon means to wound my Im'neiur; end to take from me that. sympathy and support which a generous nation is ever ready to extend to him who is un justly vituperated. • , Messrs.. Ricardo state, that to the letter they addressed to me on the 2d instant, they have received no reply. Allow me to ask those who haVe read it, if it appears to call for any, orlvhetlier s on the contrary, it was not ex presitly written with a view to the Use they now. seek to make of it ?. will show 'at another time, how much of , truth and how: much of falsehood is contained in that letter; but the circumstances there stated refer to the con. duct of. Messrs, Ricardo, and it is my business at present to prove the groundlessness of the charges which they have put forth against me, and which involve the integrity of my own character.. The first of these relates to 7,500/. commission, allowed by .Messrs. Ricardo to the Deputies, out of the ceminission which ther(Ricardos) were to receive on the contract for the second loan. I have never stated that this suns was not allowed to the Deputies for their private. , use, but I have asserted, and I defy the Messrs. Ricardo, or any other person, to disprove the assertion, that I was wh o ll y ignorant of any such. arrangeme nt . I have asserted, and now re -assert, that when 1 was informed of the arrange ment (a few days after the contract had been executed, and when Mr, Zaimis was about to return to Greece), that I expressed my disapprohation of the transaction, and that I then, a,4 I have ever since, declared that I. would not pati6pute in the commission. I have never said that siessrs. Orlando and Zahnis refused to net'. p t of this coin. mission ; the contrary is undoubtedly the fact; but I have „too, and I did s o state, because ro toy opinion It does , Mr. ()thsdo eredit, and was at least but Just towards him, that on different occasions, when Particular warlike melt!. sures rendered it probable, that this money would be of real service to Greece,. Mr, Orlando most readily .assented to its being so .applied. It was from this feeling that NU. Orlando joined with me in requesting Messrs. Ricardo to place the .1,5001., to the credit of the•Government_ ; . and it' is obvious that , s uc h must have been th e ease , or this sum, which was to have been paid by Messrs: Ricardo .outof their own commission, would never have Appeared at all in their account with the. Government.' But when the objects for which Mr. Orlando was perfectly willing that, the money ahould be employed were • found, : not to be at taioable, he considered that he was still entitled to treat it as his own (subject to the claim of Mr. Zaimis)„ and it. was in consequence again set apart from the general fund belonging to the Greek Government in. the hank of : Messrs. I explained to the Committee, and I flattered inyeA t . t h at I had satisfactorily explained to them all, the eire:orosraft„„ connected with this transaoote . I told . that out of the 7,500/. Mr. Zahnis had received 1,:w;o: i., and that the balance of 6,200!. remained in B theie:ap.ls f m ese ,. Ro Mr owrittg well knows this f fact' to l d I believe at .th ali. Messrs. Ricardo, fr o m thq ma: in whi c h t h ey h ave eon to urge for th e the' subject, h ave as. ittle excuse eluded their rema r k s upon taigrerores entation they h ave laboured to., .convey to the publire on this point. Mr. Bowring was .told when upon tIK , r e)ommittee, and he, slid not then venture to !..4eredlit the assertion (because it could easily have been verified), that Thad refused to sign an order for withdraw» ing the money from Messrs. Ralli, unless I received , an acknowledgment that I had been no party to the arrange imint originally, and that I had refused to participate in the Commission : yet, notwithstanding this, Mr. Bowring, as 'well as the Messro. Ricardo, has endeavoured so to confuse the transaction as to throw a discredit upon my vereeity, The circumstances, however, as I have narrated them, are. I trust, plain and intelligible; they cannot, I know, be con troverted, and the, simple fact that the money remains still with Messrs. Ralli is the best and strongest confirmation of the truth of what I have asserted. The affitir of Mr. Burton, I readily agree with Messrs.. Rieardo, is of a graver cast ; and let Messre. Ricardo .and Mr. Burton Justify' to their own consciences, if they can. the splendid resn i t of t h e i r past machinations and of their present charge. Messrs.: Ricardo find it convenient to throw a ithial over Mr. Burton's conduct, upon which they say' " they shall refrain front making any comments, because he has 'come forivard 'to give them all the information they derieed." 1, en the contrary, ton Compelled t o ma k e observations on that indieldind's 'conduct, which, from the greitt . intitnaey that long subsiated between us, I could' have wished to hate' been spared the pain of laying before 'the publics' I cannot 'tell by what overpowering' influence Mr.: Btretett has been i n d uced to net as he has done; but such 1164414 n .hilt conduct, that it is difficult for me to describe it irschlin Orlando and terms "d plainlangua g e " m yselfwere for a long tin i te on li oli f u i rnttotacy the now friendly and unteservat When sti i r e ( o 3 , r m es t k ,_ b is o i t r i . ds ti o u f rt t o lu ti ee tircel eott i d u l s o:L t i il w i t e h r e e '. a n i t t it r e i o ir n n sider t ; " :llfter, to take 13,00 W. llama him at par.
